GEAT EAGLE'S LUCKY STEIKE. Bullion-Bec- k. Eureka and Others-T- he Kalamazoo Discovery Notes and Personal. New Youk, Aug. 14.-S- ilver moved up a notch today, and closed at $1,124. Lead plunged and went to $4.50 a hun-dred. Eureka Mines. Tidings from this camp all agree that at no time since the ubiquitous pros-pector first buried his pick in the breast of the hill-ha- s there been such a reign of general activity. From all quarters of a radius extending between three and four miles comes the report of giant, and upon a large percentage of the lo-cations development work is being act-ively prosecuted. This has recruited a large number' of experienced miners and the roster shows a growing and thrifty population. Tho camp, how-ever, is probably not producing the tonnage that was of daily record before tho appearance of "internal troubles" on the Eureka mine which resulted in tho suspension of about one hundred men who are now distributed through neighboring prospects and properties. Notwithstanding this, it is said that the Eureka presents larger resources than ever before, while prospecting is well in advance of ore extraction. Ship-ments are progressing regularly, and it is hoped that in a short time the troubles between the fortunate owners will be abated. BULLION-BECK- . Reports from this bonanza indicate a splendid condition of affairs, with a steady output. A gentleman who was recently admitted to its workings states that the ore bodies in the Bullion-Bec- k will compare favorably with those of the famous Horn Silver in its palmiest days, while the grade maintains a most profitable average. At present the pay roll betrays the employment of about 150 miners, whose energies are divided between the breaking down of ores and the prospecting of virgin ground. A number of surface improvements are in process of erec-tion, including a new engipe and boil-ers, while the shaft is being provided with cage facilities. Everything in fact gives evidence of a determination on the part of the management to make the property eclipse all former records the present season. THE GRAY EAGLE. This property that has been a bold figure in so many of the vicissitudes with which the camp of Eureka, like all others, has been attended, is now enjoying a season of unprecedented prosperity and promises an early devel-opment into one of the most formid-able of bonanza rivals. The cam-paign is under ' direction of Mr. John McChrystal and son who have made it an exceedingly vigor-ous one since the disclosure of . ore in paying and profitable volumes, about six months ago. The mine is produc-tive of a carbonate ore milling well in both lead and silver and until recently has produced, it is claimed, about $30,000 worth of mineral per month. That the extraction of ores may be con-ducted upon a more economical basis a large compartment shaft is being put down, on the completion of which the product will again reach its old figure. The owners are determined to provide themselves with all facilities for its steady and profitable development. The Dividend List.

EESSEGUIE'S FBIEND8 INDIGNANT-- No Concert at Garfield Beach on Saturday Night Eailway Personals and Minor Notes. An alleged telegram from Omaha in a morning paper has created consider-able indignation among General Mana-ger Resscguio's friends. The state-ments mado in it are pronounced a lie out of the whole cloth. Mr. Resseguie is too well known as a thorough rail-road man and had he wished to get rid of Superintendent Baxter it would have been tho easiest matter in the world to discharge him, instead of adopting any round about method such as is intimat-ed. Mr. Baxter's successor will proba-bly be appointed tomorrow. The al-leged telegram which has caused so much indignation among Mr. Resso-guie'- s friends is as follows: The very undignified manner In which Gen-eral M:in:iKT Ki!BHn':ule undertook to remove Boh Baxter. superintendent of the Wyoming (HviHlon, nan occasioned so much tall; anionic 1'nlon 1'Ri'ltlc tr.wk and train men everywhere that he may hereafter find his position a very unpleasant one. Fearing serious results should he peremptorily discharge Mr. Baxter without giving some good cause for so doing, Kessetiiile asked him to hand In his resigna-tion, together w ith an explanation stating that Mr. Dickinson had offered him a bet ter position on the Baltimore Hi Ohio. This Baxter not only refused to do, hut gave the suggestion away, and It created an Immense amount of tinpleas-an- t comment on KesHegule as a railroad Baxter is expected to arrive lu Omaha this week and may accept an appointment from the Baltimore & Ohio. It is understood that thnt corporation wants a superintendent w ho is experienced In mountain railroads for Its Philadelphia & Wheeling division. A net-te- r man cannot he found for such work than Hob Baxter. Some Good Advice. Mr. Wilson, of Lord & Thomas, of Chicago, who has Lad somo extensive advertising contracts from the real es-tate exchange, was present at the meet-ing this morning, and gave the mem-bers some good advice concerning the correspondence now being received. Ho suggested the appointment of a committee to visit manufacturers in the east who are looking for new sites for their plants. FOR. THE GIRL'S SAKE. That is the Season William Kraut had His Face Pounded by Clar-ence Bean. A FATHEE WAENS LOTTIE GODWIN What There is Behind a Plain Assault and Battery CaseA Hackman On His Muscle. A story that had another story with-in it was unfolded before the police court this morning, Clarence Bean had been arrested for assault and battery on William Kraut, a German. Tho affair had considerable of the sensational about it, and the evidence was en-livened by the appearance of Kraut himself, whose face is a mass of bruises. Monday afternoon Kraut was in the postoftice, in company with Henry Zeff, a follow workman, Kraut being a bricklayer. There he met a pretty little girl, Lottie Godwin, with whom they were acquiiintcd. In looking about the postoffice they saw Clarence Bean, a great, muscular hackman, and the girl asked Kraut if he knew Bean. He replied that he did, but did not think much of him. But Lottie did, for she started off with Bean. Sho and Bean say that when they passed Kraut and Zeff, who had already left the office, the latter alluded to tho haekman by a very unsavory epithet. They continued on up Main street, however, the girl turning at Bean's bidding to see if Kraut was fol-lowing them. He was, and so she in-formed Bean. Kraut had encountered Officer Jack Lintz whom he invited to come with him to witness what be might say to Bean. With the officer he stepped up to Lottie and said to her: "Do you know who you are walking with?" "Yes," she replied. And in a moment she contin tied, "Is that all?" "Yes. All right," and Kraut walked away. This was about 2:30 in the afternoon. Some hours afterward Beau, who had put up his horses and had returned to the vicinity, met Kraut and Zeff on the sidewalk near the Star saloon on the State road. He hailed Kraut and told him to come to one side with him as he wanted to talk to him. "You can talk right here in front of my friend," the bricklayer replied. A few words followed and Bean sud-denly struck Kraut a blow on the face, knocking him down. When he at-tempted to rise, he again felled him and kicked his prostrate bodv. Kraut sought to flee into a grocery store near at hand, but Beau again seized hiin in his fury and hurled him to the side-walk. Kraut was no match for the big hack driver, and lay there for a few moments before summoning up enough energy to go away and wash tho blood from his face. This was the case as presented. Bean claimed that he was afraid Kraut in-tended to strike him with a hammer which he held in his hand and knocked him down for The girl, Lottie Godwin, was placed on the stand, - as was also haekdriver named Barker, who had seen the trouble, t The girl's credi-bility as a witness was assailed by tho prosecution which sought to show that she was a bad lot. She declared that she lived at home, however, and that sho had never been an inmate of a sporting house. She spoke of the hack-ma- n as "Cal" and said she had known him for several months. Jeff, Kraut's companion, said Kraut had not made any disrespectful remark about Bean. The judge decided that Bean was guilty, and assessed a fine of $30, which was appealed from. He said in passing that it was unfortunate that the court could not inquire into the motives which impelled Kraut to accost the girl. It could not be shown whether be did it in a warning spirit of friendship or simply because he desired to worry Bean. But what could not come out on trial was found by rcportor'ml inquiry. The trirl Lottie Godwin, said that tho only thing sho knew of that could actuate Kraut was the fact that "Cal" had once "gone with" the daughter of the latter. Kraut being asked about this said that there was tho real reason for his warning to tho Godwin girl. "I had a daughter," he said, "a good girl 13 years old, but in appearance a woman. I learned thatshe was staying out late of nights and found that this haekdriver was her companion. One night she was found in his hack and a policeman had to be called to get her away from him. She is now in the re-form school in Ogden. I sent her there because I could not bear to have her go to the bad and she could not be gov- erned so long as she had an opportu-nity to go with him. Do vou think it strange that I wanted to warn this other girl whom I know, of the character of the man? I am going to Ogden to get niy daughter to testify in this case, and I shall follow him as far as I can bv law." Kraut has a reputation among those who know him as an honest and sober man, and one who has had a great deal of trouble, not the least part of which his erring daughter is responsible for. Bean gave bond in the sum of $200 for his appearance before the higher court. He, too, claims to be the in-jured party, and declares innocence of wrong-doing- . , Notes and Personal.

A Lively Establishment. A visit was made by a Times repre-sentative to the office of A. H. Mayne & Co. this morning, and the convincing proofs were at baud that tho linn is doing a big business and that there is an active demand for moderate priced resideuce lots for immediate improve-ment. During the past week Mr. F. J. McCarthy, an attache of the firm, sold seven lots, ranging in prices from $700 to JUiiOO each on Fourth South and First andSeeoud West, and is negotiating for tho sitle of several more. Mr. Mayne complimented Mr. McCarthy, ami gave him the credit of being the best real estate salesman in the city. . . - LOCAL BttfcVITIF.S.

Commis-sioner Greenman reported but one caso, in which Mrs. Dundas had given bonds in the sum of $1000 for her appearance at roll call. Commissioner Norrell was relieved of all occupation temporily, and appropriated his leisure to tho swapping of varus wit h other tenants of the block. Nothing whatever reached the files of the district courts, and alto-gether the day was a dull one. Adams Head In Danger. A telegram from Omaha says that President Adams of the Union Pacific rond holds his position by a very uncer-tain tenure, and is liable to be forced to resign within the next twelve months. According to this story he is fast losing his influence with the Boston capitalists, of whom Frederick Ames is the one who has been supporting him all along. The trouble, it is said, originated from the separation of the Union Pa-cific, system into four divisions, which required four sets of general officers and clerks, creating conflicting manage-ment interests, and increasing the ex-penses enormously. This plan, which was tried without success by the North-ern Pacific, has proven a failure on the Union Pacific, and this everyone admits hut Mr. Adams, because tiis position depends upon the outcome of the pol-icy. If it can finally be made a success without bankrupting the road, ho will be a great man, but if, as predicted, it fails, off goes his head. Three Documents Filed. Articles of incorporation were filed with tho secretary of the Utah commis-sion as follows yesterday: The Citizens bank of Ogden with cap-ital stock of $200,000. Warren W. Carey president, Theodore Robinson and manager. American Fork Hotel and Improve-ment company, incorporated with a capital stock of $70,000. The Realty company of Kittery, Mo., with a capital slock of $1,000,000, tiled a notice of the formation of a branch in Salt Lake City, and appointed John A. Marshall as their representative. Most of the stockholders of this company are Boston capitalists. WOMAN'S WORLD IN PARAGRAPH A Girl Party Where No Chaperon Needed. It was at the Twenty third street it tion of one of the New York elevats roads that they came on the train. Eve eye was fixed on them, for they nearl all wore white, and twenty-fiv- e prett girls coming into a car all at once im in white will make even the jaded, frs New Yorker glance np from his evenic paper. Their sunburned faces show they had been down for a dip and t ds at the seashore. Some of them h dainty baskets in which they had ct ried their lnnch. The rest had regal; themselves on blnefish, steamed clan and other sea food. They looked lii the girls of a graduating class at a school or they might have been young womt clerks in one of the great dry gooi stores. T could not quite make fha out, and I, who have interviewed sea tors and members of parliament ti high nosed, homely old women 1 thought they were leaders in societ? and did it without any compunctions i all I did not dare ask these gk who , they were and where they hi been; Their sweet, girlish digniq abashed even me. They were as mer? as the sunlight, and talked and langhn together, and you could not detect fros any glance or word that they were mat riageable girls. They were justbrigV. sensible and natural, seemingly ntteri; unconscious that the men, young nf old, in the car were watching then I really think they were thus tmcot scions. The eternal thought of sei tb seems to fill the minds of some girls n apparently entirely absent from tie meditations, and greatly to their ate tage. There was not an older person i either sex with them; nobody but tta selves. They need a chaperon? Tir might have been trusted to go Kwd the world alone. While they are about it let the P tbrtword "obedient" oil of their marriage ceremony.

The convention of ticket agents at Denver adjourned yesterday. During the session but little business of import-ance was transacted, except the elec-tion of officers, as follows: Mr. Henry Lihon of Sf Losiis, president; George K. Smith of Columbus, Ohio, first t; S. B. Thompson of F'lorida, second and E. F. Lack-ne- r of Denver, third Mr. Carrel was secretary as was T. W. Veneman treasurer. St. Paul was chosen as the place of holding the next annual meeting. The dele-gates will remain in Colorado, visiting various places of interest, during the remainder of the week, and on Sunday go to Salt Lake City. "THE CITY DIRECTORY." It Is Danced, Laughed and Sung Into Pub-lic Favor at the Theater. A crowded house greeted the open-ing of "The City Directory" at the Salt Lake theater last night. The piece is called a musical absurdity and accord-ing to the announcement on the pro-gramme was constructed for laughing purposes only. In this respect it prob-ably could not be improved upon. The whole three acts are filled up, not with humor or wit of any delicate kind, but with fun of the broadest description. For three hours the audience was kept roaring with laughter and then went home feeling in better spirits, at peace with themselves, loving their neighbor and honoring their Maker, but at the same time wondering what they had been laughing at.., "The City Directory" has no plot. It does not need any. A jumble of John Smith's pass across tho stage accom-panied by their wives and daughters and sweethearts, and dance, laugh and sing themselves into favor. Undoubt-edly Charley Reed as Detective Smith received a larger part of the applause than any other individual member of the company, except probably Miss May Irwin. Reed's topical songs were new and better than that they were witty, although some of his puns were atrocious. William Collier as Stage Man-ager Smith is also deserving of special mention. His makeup was, however the funniest part about him. His au- - pearance caused laughter even before he opened his mouth. Alf. Hampton gave some excellent impersonilicalians, that cf Nat Goodwin being unusually good. Miss May Irwin has long been a favorite with the public, Her camp meeting songs brought down the house, and she was compelled to sing again and again before the audience would allow the play to proceed. Mrs. Amelia Glover's dancing is .wonderful. To night the company will closo its en-gagement with "Easy Street," another absurdity which has made a great hit. Manager Burton announces for his next attraction at the Salt Lake Theater the representative dramatic organiza- tion of the country, Mr. A. M. Palmer's company from the Madison Square Theater, New York. This engagement is one of the mainstays of the Salt Lake dramatic season. The reoertory will be a most brilliant one, The opening play will be "Capt. Swift," one of the most notable of the modern successes This will be followed by "Jim the l'en-m'-- " "Aunt Jack," "A Man of the World" and "Saints and Sinners." Vonterday's Keal Kstate Transfers.

No concert will be given at Garfield beach on Saturday evening. The rights of the pavilion for that night wore leased to a ward school somo weeks ago. There will, however, be a concert at Syracuse on Sunday evening, under tho direction of SignorCampobollo. An excellent programme has been prepared and a big turnout is expected. The Lead Ores. The camps of Utah are rapidly de-veloping into a field of fierce rivalry between the alien ore factors and local buyers, all of which tends to benefit the producers. Colorado, since its lead ores began to fall off, and since the Henrietta-Mai- d consolidation at Lead-vill-checked o its plumbcan output, has found it necessary to draw on the resources of this country until at present the steady operations of its smelters is largely de- - pendent on the mines of Utah. So much so, in fact, that it is about to involve a fight in which the railways will figure as the party of tho third part. A cul-mination of this kind would doubtless call for some very interesting rev-elations and furnish a column or more of valuable statistics upon the dependency of Colorado furnaces on the product and prosperity of this ter-ritory. It is a well-know- n 'fact that the smelters of Pueblo and Denver, which there has been long stand-ing hostilities, have sent their repre- sentatives into local camps with instruc-tions to gobble up everything that would aid them in the handling of the very refractory classes to which the majority of Colorado's camps have de-generated. This situation of affairs must necessarily provide a market for the lead ores of Utah so that owners ancl locators may rely with safety on the future. A Place for Cmnnilngs. . Mr. G. B. Cummings, one of the clerks in the office of the superintendent of bridges and buildings on tho Rio Grande Western, has been appointed agent and operator at Thompsons. Railway Mates.

Marks of San Francisco, coloniza-tion agent of the Southern Pacific, is in the city, There was a washout on the Union Pacific at Milford yesterday, but no serious damage was done. Not much importance is attached to the rumor that the Union Pacific is about to lease the Central Pacific. The work of construction on the Kearnev & Black Hills extension of the Union Pacific is being pushed rapidly. The Union Pacific is preparing for a series of Sunday concerts at Syracuse, in which Siguor Campobello will lake part. Tho Union Pacific put a large force at work yesterday on West Fourth street, and about 1000 feet of track was laid in a few hours. This was done to get ahead of the Utah Ooutral. The contracting freight agents of the United States will hold their annual convention in Denver August 25. Georgo Diefenbaugh of Dayton, O., is the most prominent candidate for chair-man. The Union Pacific road has employed chemists to go over its lines to ascertain the quality of water used in its locomo-tives from the various water tanks of the system. They are now at work in Kansas and Nebraska. J. II. Bennett, local agent of the New York Central, receiveda telegram on Tuesday from General Passenger Agent. Daniels, saying that tho strike had euded in a "complete victory for the company; all passenger trains run-ning on schedule lime, with no inter-ruption to our traffic, contrary reports notwithslanding."

The Walkers have decided to convert the entire Central block into an office building, the block to bo erected on Third South street to be occupied by their dry goods house. The Utah Oil company began drilling on Monday. The first hole is being put down on section 14 on the land directly east of the bridge on which the Rib Grande Western crosses the Green river. The last spike was yesterday driven in the extension of the Salt Lake Rapid Transit railway. The line extends down the State "mad to Seventh South, thence to Ninth F.asl and south to the center of Forest Dale, thence west to Seventh East street. The Green River Oil company of Utah filed articles of incorporation yesterday with thodistrictclerk. The capital stock of the concern is $5,000,000, divided into 1,000,000 shares of $5 each. Witcher Jones is president; H. Hall, J. C. Conklin, treasurer, and A. D. Elliott, secretary. The company owns 14,000 acres of" land in the Green river mining distrtet. ? The Kalamazoo, Recent discoveries in this mine, and the exhibition of a boulder of ore fraught with both silver and lead at the offices of Phil Marge tt, is at-tracting unusual attention to American Fork canon, a distance of twentv-tiv- e miles from American Fork. The spec- imen in question calls attention to' an- other geological freak the ore being found at or near the grass roots in soft earth and making its appearance in boulders varying from ten pounds to one thousand. The fur. nace analysis upon these boulders dis- closes both silver and lead in lartre quan titles, one assay returning as much as 204.7 ounces silver and 66 per cent ead. The owners are naturally exul-tan- t and will continue their search for the vein from which the boulders erne, nated, the boulders themselves provid- ing for the expense account. SALT LAKE BAPTISTS.

Tha Death of Mr. MeClain's Child Followed by That of His Father, The friends of Mr. O. S. McClain will profoundly sympathize with him in misfortunes that have well nigh bro-ken his heart. On Monday last he was bereft of an idolized daughter whose body was embalmed for shipment to Denver, in which city the funeral was to be conducted . from the residence of . a . . grand parent, Hon. R. T. Wilson, under whose roof she was ush ered iuto this veil of tears. The grief stricken mother and Gail, brother of the deceased, departed by the Rio Grande yesterday afternoon as escort upon the melancholy journey. Bowed with sorrow the father returned slowly and found a telegram awaiting him. It bore unexpected tidings ol another sorrow, and hurriedly an- nounced the sudden death of Mr.Wilson, father of his wife. Communicating the heartrending intelligence to bis wife and boy, who were tlieu in transit, Mr MeUaintook the Union Pacific fiver this morning and by that route will "a-nticipate the arrival of his wifo by about thirty minutes. The family may be comforted by the assurance that the sympathy of a large number of friends is extended them. A PECULIAR ACCIDENT. A Times Man Rtrm k In the F.ye at the Theater Last Right. A peculiar accident happened at the Salt Lake theater last night which shows how easily carelessness may have seri-ous results. Just as a member of the local staff of The Times, was leaving the theater at the close of the performance, he was struck in the eye by a programme thrown from one of the galleries. The programme had been rolled up tightly and evidently shot out with consider-able force. It struck with the weight of a brick-bat- .' The edge of one of the pages caught the unfortunate news-paper man square in the eye cutting a gash nearly a quarter of an inch in length that narrowly missed the pupil. - He was staggered back as though struck in the face, and would have fallen had it not been for parties just behind him. The injury is a painful one, although not serious. Dr. J'ebbitts this morning dressed the wounded eye, and said that it would result in nothing more than a few days' inconvenience. It was for-tunate, however, he said, that the pupil was not touched, for in such case it would in all probability have resulted in blindness. Plasterers, Take Kotice. All members of the operative plas-terct-union. No. 68, are requested to attend a special meeting on Monday, Aug. 18, at the rooms at the usual hour. By order of the union. John Lynch, Sec. |
